VICTORVILLE • A fire in a food stand at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds caused the total loss of one food vendor and threatened six other food stands, according to San Bernardino County Fire Department officials.

When fire officials arrived they found the structure fully-involved and six other structures threatened because of wind. Because of their quick response they were able to get the situation under control in seven minutes.

The blaze was caused when a heating device used to warm chocolate failed and caught fire, which then spread throughout the unit.

No one was injured in the incident.
